Has anyone ever tried these? My dog won't chew raw bones and bully sticks make her sick, so I thought I would give these a try. Any opinions before I buy them? http://www.petexpertise.com/item--Antler-Dog-Chews--Antlers.html

I want to add brewers yeast to my dog's home cooked diet. I'll be using either the human pill form or powder form. For those who feed brewers yeast, how much do you give your dog? Do you give it every day? Thanks in advance!

I'm thinking about adding brewers yeast (human tablets) to my dog's home cooked diet. Is there a specific amount per pound to feed?

Egg whites do contain avidin, which does decrease the absorption of biotin. However, there is more than enough biotin in the egg yolk to make up for the loss from the egg white. The only time you would run into a problem with this is if you fed only the egg whites. (Mordy told me about this...

Just wondering, do the parks that you guys go to require a paid membership, or are they open to anyone?

I understand why some people would hate dog parks, but I absolutely love the one where I take Saluda just about every day. Our dog park has very strict membership rules that are always enforced. Dogs must be spayed/neutered, and up to date on all vaccinations. This information is checked once...

Yep I do live in SC, good guess! ;) I'm glad more people are using the website. I think it's pretty new so it's a little slow, but I think it will be a lot of fun when more people start using it. If you can't find dogs by there number, you can also look them up in alphabetical order by...

Someone from another pet forum posted this website that lets you vote on what breeds your mutt is mixed with. It's pretty cool, and of course, just for fun. :) Saluda is #45...anyone have a guess? Have fun! :D http://www.greatmutts.com

My ferret was just diagnosed with insulinoma a few months ago. I don't know if it's the same for ferrets and dogs, but since my ferret started the steroids, he has been acting 100% better. Before he was diagnosed, he never wanted to play, stopped eating, and lost a lot of weight. Now he's...

Thanks for the replies everyone. No update yet, so I'm not too sure what's going on. I'll let you know if I find out :( My dog is on a 100% very healthy and balanced homemade diet. No kibble at all, ever. However, there is a HUGE difference between feeding a raw or homemade diet and feeding...

I have a friend with a very sick dog. The dog is a lab, 60 lbs, and about 4 years old. Last week, the dog was vomiting and not eating, so they took her to the vet. The vet took x-rays and found a blockage that was probably carpet fibers from the newly installed carpet (the dog was licking...

When I called the company they said that what happened was a "normal" part of the coil cleaning process and the guy was just being nice by letting me know it was out there because he could hear the dog barking at him from inside the house and didn't want me to let her out :rolleyes:

Okay so I found out, after calling poison control and the AC company, that the chemical was something called NuBrite coil cleaner. The guy said "it's just like anitfreeze" but I'm not sure how true that is now. It is still toxic to dogs though. Tomorrow I'll be calling the company who makes...

My neighbor's AC unit is in my backyard and the company was here today to do winter maintenance on it. The man working on it spilled a chemical (which he said is like antifreeze for the coils in the AC) all over the unit and on the ground around it. :mad: He said that dogs are attracted to...

I agree! This stuff smells great and the vanilla scent lasts for a really long time.
